smackdown
 

Thinking of heading to kokomo next week.....anybody from the eastern pa (Reading) area wanna go lol?

Re: smackdown
 

I am leaving at 5am next Thursday morning. Hope to be out there by 3-3:30

Re: smackdown
 

Pray for good weather.

Re: smackdown
 

this bus will be leaving PA Wednesday around 3am from ( Lancaster-Lebanon) making stops at Wright Patterson Museum and White Castle then Kokomo!

Weather is making the drive look iffy......

Re: smackdown
 

This is Indiana in the summertime so the weather can change in the blink of eye, if your driving here for a 3 day event 1 more day won't hurt.

Re: smackdown
 

I am going rain or shine!

Re: smackdown
 

1450 miles 2 races 2 rain outs I'm headed that way still!

We're heading that way Wednesday morning, but I sure hope the camping area isn't too wet!

Obviously if it rains it will be a different story but drove by yesterday and there were already a few campers in the lot and pretty dry..looking forward to Thur.. Hopefully mother nature plays nice :)

Re: smackdown
 

I have two three days passes for the Smackdown (two seats, top row, Section C) and just learned that I will be unable to attend. :13: Private Message me or call/text (812)655-0747 if you have interest in all or any part of my tickets. You lucky dogs who get to go.....have a GREAT and SAFE weekend.

Re: smackdown
 

Don't EVEN want to think about it,,,but...
I have 3 day pass...
If we have rainout,,,how is this handled ?

Refund,,,use tickets for another event NEXT year ?

Re: smackdown
 

they emailed me that Sunday was the rain date and if all days are rained out they will announce what dates you can use your tickets for.

Re: smackdown
 

I'd hope they would let you use your tickets for next years event. Driving all that way for a weekly show wouldn't be worth it to me.

Re: smackdown
 

They're gone....Thank You for indulging me. :9:

They will let you use them next year.

Re: smackdown
 

The MotoGP weekend was supposed to be a wash with Friday and Saturday 80% chance. It didn't rain until Sunday late. Just saying lets be optimistic. :23:

Re: smackdown
 

The weather's trending better for the weekend now, as long as we don't get too much rain this week. It's going to be hot as hell, though.

Re: smackdown
 

I will be coming up for my first race sat is there G A seats or are they all reserved?

I think the top half is reserved and middle to bottom is g a

Re: smackdown
 

I'm freaking out whether to cancel my flight.... Weather Channel makes me want to cancel, looks like rain every day, National Weather Service makes it look better.....like we have a decent chance
What are the local stations saying???

Depends on who you watch. Looks like a chance everyday until Saturday. Then its going to be hot and sticky.

Re: smackdown
 

"Global Warming" people are saying just "Freak Out" everyday, man!!!

Re: smackdown
 

Weather channel is saying 80% chance of rain on Thursday and Saturday. Partly cloudy on Friday. Would they use sunday night as a rain date?

I would say take the chance get on the plane and head this way if it rains have fun and make new friends. I would say we get at least one show in and being Indiana we may get them all in.Hell come and get away to relax stop in at the Halfmoon enjoy a great meal and a home made brew hang out at the speedway then go home with a ton of good memories,

Sunday is a planned rain date, if needed. Reece has been nothing but confident leading up to the event, and I'd say Kokomo Speedway will pull out all the stops to complete the scheduled races this weekend. It may not be a perfect schedule, and it may take Sunday, but it will happen. Don't make the mistake of missing out. The races where they have had to fight weather have turned out to be some of the best they've had, and that bar is set pretty high.

Re: smackdown
 

We are in a summer weather system. Showers develop with day time heating. It is going to be hot and humid, with storms developing during the hot part of the day. The key will be that they don't hang around a long time. Hopefully we get lucky

Starting our smackdown at noon Thursday at Halfmoon and looking forward to a great 3 day visit. Hope all race teams and fans have a great time.

Gonna try to take in the Halfmoon for lunch on Thursday, before heading to the track, how's their ipa?

Re: smackdown
 

I'm a fan!

Re: smackdown
 

There is absolutely no way to know if rain is going to affect anything this weekend. Scattered rain chances means exactly what it says. There’s a chance it might rain, there’s a chance it might not rain. If there is rain, how much and the timing is really all that matters. There were a couple days last week where it rained 20 miles away from me, and I didn’t see a drop on any of those days. You can’t predict where it MIGHT rain. I went to an IndyCar/USAC double at Richmond, VA one year. There was a 90% chance of rain on race day. It was literally raining 10 miles from the track in every direction. Didn’t see a drop of rain all night, it was like we were in a rain free vortex. The only place it matters is the plot of land Kokomo Speedway sits on, no way to know if that gets rain.

If I based my racing on forecasts, I’d see pretty much 0 races every year.

If you’re looking for what local Indy weather said, Thursday has the highest chance of rain. Friday and Saturday better. Saturday looks to be the driest.

Re: smackdown
 

The forecast its self is still changing..i have seen something different from every weather station out of indy, although what we get indy may not get and vice versa. Tomorrow doesnt look the greatest but I am still planning on being at Kokomo Speedway watching a race, will that happen..won't really know until tomorrow. Last summer for midget week at Gas City there were thunderstorms all around the place and a 80% chance of rain and we got the entire night in..anything is possible in this state..just continue to hope for the best :).

Re: smackdown
 

I have 2 - 3 day passes with pit passes for sale due to medical issues. Section C, Row 20. Please call Eric @ 847-544-6504. Can deliver to the track on Thursday. Thanks for your consideration.

Re: smackdown
 

:( Daggone weather. I just hope that we all haven't made motel reservations, and bought 3 day tickets, just to come up there and sit in the motel and watch it rain 2/3 of the program out. I'll be there, but phooey on Mother Nature.

Re: smackdown
 

I haven't been over to Kokomo since Sprint Week and the weather then looked just as shady however they got it in and in my opinion it was some of the best racing I've seen this season. Kokomo is one of the best tracks in the country when it comes to getting shows in.

It's not a local show at paragon don't you all think that there is going to be a lot effort in racing this event, even if it means late nights or two races in a day... Etc. did anyone see the Knoxville nationals forecast ??

Re: smackdown
 

I probably know more about weather than anybody I know and I think the rain is going to track south of Kokomo about 4 or 5 miles.:17:Then again maybe not.Either way I ll be there

Sunday is a rain date should it be needed

Watching the weather on the news and it looks promising to get all 3 nights in.

Re: smackdown
 

I went to Macon Illinois in May for a POWRI show with 0% chance of rain and it rained out. So I say every show is 50/50. LOL
